It has emerged in a recent interview with The Who frontman Roger Daltrey that drum loon Keith Moon was so keen on The Beach Boys that he would have left The Who to join them if he'd been given the chance.

We used to do 'Barbara Ann' for Keith to keep him happy!"Imagine what the Beach Boys would have sounded like that with a little of Moonie's percussive input...
